Job description

Revise Robotics · Dumbo, Brooklyn · In-person · Paid

We're automating laptop refurbishment end-to-end: a robot arm picks up a used laptop, opens it, turns it on, wipes it to NIST standards, diagnoses what's broken, fixes what it can, and prepares it for its next owner.

What we're actually looking for

Someone who has done something genuinely unusual and is good at it.

Some examples of what "unusual" might look like — not a checklist, just calibration:

  • You've built a robot that does something weird and it actually works.

  • You've reverse-engineered firmware, written custom HID devices, or have opinions about USB-C alt modes.

  • You've trained a vision model on a dataset you collected yourself because nothing existed.

  • You've shipped a hardware project where the mechanical, electrical, and software all had to work together and you did all three.

  • You have deep knowledge of something adjacent we'd never think to ask about — dry ice cleaning, capacitive sensing, industrial machine vision, BIOS internals, low-FPS visual servoing, battery safety.

  • You've done something on your own time that a reasonable person would describe as "weird" or "obsessive."

If none of those describe you but you think you'd be particularly well-suited to work on our problem, please tell us why. We'd rather hire someone with one deep, weird strength than someone well-rounded.

What you'll do here

Work on whatever part of the pipeline your background makes you particularly formidable at. Recent intern-scale problems have included: vision under adversarial lighting, end-effector design for laptop manipulation, autonomous BIOS navigation, and reward shaping for cable insertion. We'll match the project to you, not the other way around.

Logistics and compensation

In-person at our Dumbo office. 10–12 weeks, flexible start. You'll work directly with Antonio (CTO) and Rupesh (CEO), alongside the core team.
